PCGS Grade Just in....1966 10c rainbow AT or NT? Would you call it a mint error?

Grade just in PCGS MS64 no mint error for worn die or die crack



I buy thinks that appeal to me sometime I get lucky and they don't cost much. I have a submission going in go PCGS, so it will only cost me the grading fee. Just picked it up, crack on forehead is lint but small die crack at top of head and fields look stretched/worn. Would PCGS slab and if so what would the mint error be called? This is what I like to collect something different. And the pass some thinks on to my nephews at some point. Colors are light and pastel also full cartwheel luster. Looks better in hand, Your opinions will be welcome

    I don't think it is AT, but I don't think it's worth sending in, either. It looks circulated.

    No detail in the hair or in the torch on the rear. Not going to receive a high grade. Might be NT but
    probably not worth the fees.

    Is it circ or is it lost details from long overused dies.

    Look at the "starburst" stress lines. Those dies were well into a state of metal fatigue.

    Neat coin. If you do decide to send it in let us know how it turns out.

    Regards,

    1947-P & D; 1948-D; 1949-P & S; 1950-D & S; and 1952-S.
    Any help locating any of these OBW rolls would be gratefully appreciated!

    To me: Questionable toning on worn dies.

    But it is YOUR opinion that really matters...Mike

    I don't like the overall look......while the coin clearly isn't worth the grading fees....if you like the coin then it's really a small price to pay.

    Cool looking coin, but like everyone else said, the grading fees will cost you more than the value of the coin.

    Its packed up and ready to ship. I price average all my collection, some I make out, some I overpay a little. I am teaching my 2 nephews about collecting and PCGS slabbed coins will teach them to grade and also I can let them handle them and study them without worry. Even let them borrow to show their friends. I get enjoyment so the price on some is not so important. We get to spend time together and the slabbed coins keep any pizza from getting on a coin. Someday my nephews will end up with some of my collection, the ones they really like. I keep notes on, a good way for them to teach their kids someday and hopefully remember their crazy uncle. I'll post the results when they come in. Thanks for you input.

    You don't see a lot of these that look like this any longer.

    Most of these never were saved from circulation and most of those that were have since been spent. The ones in circulation are often so heavily worn that it's hard to tell there was a minting problem.

    They're a whole lot more interesting than they were twenty or forty years ago.

    I saved a few rolls of the worst '66 quarters anyone ever saw since I figured
    no one would ever believe that they made coins this bad. They're actually pretty
    clean so they might get high grades. image

    These are so bad that they make your dime look almost like a gem.

    Congrats. That's a nice looking 64. I'd much rather have something like this with character than a bright MS67. image

    Although for me, it would have gone in my Dansco and not in a slab.

    That's because it isn't a mint error coin. That is EXACTLY what a coin struck from that set of worn out dies is supposed to look like.
    Just because I'm old doesn't mean I don't love to look at a pretty bust.

    the blue/gold color on that Dime is sort of typical for Nickel and rather common on clad coinage, i find it most often on the larger coins for whatever reason. i have a few nice Dimes with it, though. as for the flow lines, that's just the symptoms of an extremely stressed die which almost certainly wasn't in service for too long after it struck this coin!!! the state of business at the Mint in the mid-60's almost guaranteed that dies would be used past their normal service life.

    My experience has been about a week or less added to the submission. It seems to depend if is just after after a big show or mint release or in-between.

    This one went in on a CC Quarterly special they received on 9.19.08 and shipped on 10.01.08 which is pretty fast. with grading,picture and attributed.

    There are some coins that are not about the money, My nephews will simply love this coin. Great conversation piece.

    Finding this coin I like $13.00

    Having it slabbed and photographed $35.00

    Years of enjoyment then leaving it to a nephew. Priceless image

    Though not a Modern collector, this one has loads of appeal. She is comparably mushy to some LDS CBH's I have.

    Cool coin and applaudable motives for slabbing.
